Please describe the key principle of the contiguous memory allocation method. What are the hardware support for contiguous memory allocation? What are the key disadvantages of the contiguous memory allocation method?
Contiguous Allocation:
In this method, each file or entity occupies a contiguous set of blocks on the main memory. All the available memory space remains in one place. It means freely available memory partitions are not scattered across the whole memory space. When any user process request for the memory a single section of the contiguous memory block is given to that process according to its need. We can achieve contiguous memory allocation by dividing memory into the fixed-sized partition.
Hardware support:
Hardware approach to manage memory is to load each process in contiguous space. The OS is allocated space first, and the the remaining available memory is allocated to processes as needed.
Disadvantages:

Most systems allow a program to allocate more memory to its address space during execution. Allocation of data in the heap segments of programs is and example of such allocated memory. What is required to support dynamic memor allocation in the following schemes? a. Contiguous memory allocation b. Pure segmentation c. Pure paging Explain each of the above schemes and provide sources to back your answers.

describe one common error in using dynamic memory allocation.
support department cost allocation-sequential method
The memory management scheme shown below represents basic contiguous memory allocation of processes. Processes 1 through 7 were created in order and allocated memory locations for execution as shown in step 1. Processes 1, 3, and 6 terminate, and several holes appear as shown in step 2. Processes 8, 9 and 10 are created next. Each of these are 1MB in size. Using the Best Fit strategy, complete the figure for step 3. Assume no other processes have terminated. 3...

What key phrase is used in the definition of a main() method to support I/O from a data file?
Support department cost allocation direct method Becker Tabletops has two support departments (anitorial and Cafeteria) and two production departments (Cutting and Assembly). Relevant details for these departments are as follows: Support Department Cost Driver Janitorial Department Square footage to be serviced Cafeteria Department Number of employees Janitorial Cafeteria Cutting Assembly Department Department Department Department Department costs $310,000 $169,000 $1,504,000 $680,000 Sare feet 5.000 1,000 4,000 Number of employees 10 3 30 10 Allocate the support department costs to the production...
